The fuse box is located under the seat. After removing the seat, remove the battery. There are 2 black boxes tucked into slots. The one on the left should be the fuse box. Pop the lid off and the fuses are right there.

the only fuse that controls the starter is mounted to the side of the starter solenoid under the seat. Trace the red cable from the battery and it will lead you directly to it. the fuse should be under a cover where the battery connects to the solenoid. solenoid should look something like this

the main fuse should be located near the starter solenoid

On a mechanical (cable driven) speedometer, the problem's the drive unit, the cable, or the speedo head itself. You stated the cable is good, so let's eliminate that. You can attach the inner and outer cable to the speedo head, chuck the bottom end of the inner cable in a drill motor, and spin it to see if the speedo head responds. If not, new speedo needed. It both the cable and speedo head are good, then it's the speedometer drive (I believe it's in the rear brake backing plate) is probably bad. Remove it and inspect/replace.

Real easy. Look down at the back of your instrument cluster (you said '95 so I'm giving directions for tank cluster) you'll see three bolts in a triangle. the one at the bottom holds the cluster to teh tank. Remove it, speedo cable simply unscrews from the back of the speedo. Note very very carefully how the cable is routed it is absolutely essential that you route it right or you won't have a happy result. The bottom end is simply 1 screw undo and pull it out. Both ends simply have a squared off hard steel shaft that slide in no problems with little gears, very simple BUT make very sure you route the new one exactly the same as the one you take out. If you need any more help let me know

You have a loose electrical connection. Check the wiring to the coil(s) and check all of your grounds. If it only occurred on 1 cylinder, odds are it's not a loose ignition connector.

Have you checked the that the side stand is up if it is check the switch on the back of the side stand. If the side stand is down this switch will make the bike stall.

Try loosening the gas cap to see if the tank is venting properly. Gas can't flow from the tank unless air can get in to replace it. If loosening the cap solves the problem then try to clear the vent in the cap or just get a new cap.

Hi I had the same problem. It turned out with me was that one of my plugs was gone and I was opening the throttle up more to compensate for the drop in power. causing the petrol to build up and flood the filter. I repaced the plugs and the problem went away.
